Sound designer Oscar Garvin admitted to a bout of pre-launch insomnia. “I can’t sleep, Hytale is releasing,” he shared. “By February 1st, I will have spent ten years on this journey alongside some of the most talented people I know. It’s hard to put these emotions into words, but the excitement is real. We hope you have a blast in our world.”
Carter “Ktar” Gale, a Creative Mode engineer, expressed a sense of fulfillment as the launch hour approached. “I’m at peace. The creative tools are in a great place, and while there’s always more work to do, I couldn’t be prouder of this team’s passion and skill.”
IT Lead DevSlashNull captured the significance of the moment: “Going to bed tonight knowing that tomorrow we finally get to press the button we’ve been waiting a decade for. We can’t wait to see everyone in-game.” In a lighthearted exchange with artist Polina, they later joked about the lack of rest, quipping, “Who needs sleep anyway?”
While a Hytale lead previously dismissed a fan’s “dream” feature as unlikely, a recent cryptic update suggests it might actually be part of the experience.
